Ghislaine Garcin

Is a Marseille based textile designer. She produces a unique and innovative material using traditional techniques, combining knitting and felt. Knitting is made first, before being included in the wool fibers by rubbing with warm water and soap. The yarns and fibers used come from France and Europe only. The production process is entirely handmade, in limited edition, and eco-aware.

Maille&feutre is a collection of contemporary home items, such as rugs, made of knitting and hand-crafted wool felt which help to maintain a healthy and cosy indoor living by enhancing the natural properties of the wool. The main items, rugs and cushions but also pots, seats, and furnishing fabrics for prescriptors can be made-to-measure.

Wool felt has thermo-and hydro-regulation properties that can’t be reached by any other fiber, natural or synthetic. It is highly insulating and soundproofing. It is antistatic, hypoallergenic, hygro-regulating and pollution absorbent. So it is the perfect material for cosiness and relaxation lounges.
